Benefits of technology

The invention aims to improve the design of a vehicle seat to prevent collisions between a stop element and any obstructions that may be present in the seat. The stop element is designed to overcome the obstructions and still work with the seat's end stop to limit the comfort adjustment region. The stop module is simple to activate and can be easily produced. This invention helps to ensure the safety and comfort of vehicle seats.

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the comfort adjustment region is limited by means of a stop which is able to be shifted away.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]A vehicle seat 1 for a three-door motor vehicle in the present case, in this case a front seat, has a seat part 2 and a backrest 10 which is attached thereto and which is able to be adjusted in inclination. The vehicle seat could, however, also be a rear seat, in particular in a five-door motor vehicle with three seat rows and seven vehicle seats.

[0044]The arrangement of the vehicle seat 1 inside the vehicle and the usual direction of travel thereof define the directional information used hereinafter. In this case, a direction oriented perpendicular to the ground is denoted hereinafter as the vertical direction and a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and perpendicular to the direction of travel is denoted hereinafter as the transverse direction.

[0045]By means of a longitudinal adjuster which has two lower rails 5 connected to the vehicle floor of the motor vehicle and two upper rails 3, the vehicle seat 1 is able to be longitudinally adjusted within a comfort r...

Abstract

A longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat (1) includes a lower rail (5) and a longitudinally displaceably guided upper rail. A lower rail mounted end stop (40, 40b) delimits a comfort adjustment region interacting with an upper rail mounted stop element (36). The upper stop element (36) can be displaced beyond the comfort adjustment region into an easy entry region and is part of a stop module (30) that is pivotable about a pivot axis (S). The stop module (30) includes a deflector element (34) that moves upwards, when the stop element (36) has not been shifted away, in the vertical direction upon contact with a screw head (22) that is located in the cavity between the upper rail (3) and the lower rail (5). The upper stop element (36) form-fittingly engages with the end stop (40, 40b) when the end stop (40, 40b) is reached.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a United States National Phase Application of International Application PCT / EP2014 / 057198 filed Apr. 9, 2014 and claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of German Patent Applications 10 2013 207 945.1 filed Apr. 30, 2013 and 10 2013 214 175.0 filed Jul. 19, 2013 the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat having a lower rail and an upper rail which can be displaceably guided therein in the longitudinal direction within a comfort adjustment region, as well as an end stop which is mounted on the lower rail and which delimits the comfort adjustment region by cooperating with a stop element mounted on the upper rail, wherein by shifting the stop element away the upper rail is able to be displaced beyond the comfort adjustment region into an easy entry region.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A gene...
